Baltistani languages

Baltistani languages are a group of Tibeto-Burman languages spoken primarily in the Baltistan region of northern Pakistan. These languages include Balti, Burushaski, and nearby dialects, and are part of the broader Himalayan linguistic landscape. They have unique features, such as distinct phonetics and vocabulary, reflecting their long history and cultural diversity. While Balti is the most widely spoken, some regions also use other local dialects. These languages are important for local identity and cultural heritage, and they coexist alongside Urdu and other regional languages in the area.
